Oh, come on, tell us how you really feel about kernel developers... You don't see me, or any other kernel person complaining about the spam here (well, I did ask Chris in person why you all aren't just filtering out HTML email, as that's real simple to do, but that was just a suggestion.) > >>One might argue that aside from major new directions for LSM, any > >>LSM-related discussions should just occur directly on lkml anyway. > >> > >> > >I agree. > > > Don't most other major subsystems have a mailing list, and it's actually > the minor discussion that happens on the sub-list and the major stuff > that gets cc'd to LKML? Yes, but there is also usb help and discussion on lkml a lot. We are on a down cycle with regards to lsm development, so there isn't much traffic on this list. Will it ever pick up again, who knows... > What do e.g. linux-usb and linux-hotplug-devel do about spam? I have a set of mailman filters that I have offered to your admins many times in the past that filter out html messages, and a lot of other crap that obviously does not belong on the list. That being said, they aren't working so good recently due to the major increase in the SoBig traffic (basically it's the bounces and virus scanner notices that make it through.) Also sf.net has added some spam filtering that seems to be working out pretty well. You might as them what they do, as those lists are hosted there.
